the sem has officially ended (for me)...
it's been more than 2 months since i last blogged in. i don't know... never found the time? pwede. nothing new/exciting happened? nah. no money? it was a factor... well, whatever the reason was... tada! i'm back again!
i can't find a way to summarize how this sem turned out for me.. and it's hard to organize my thouhts. anyway, let me do it this way:
i flunked math 36. i was doing kinda ok in the early parts of the lesson but i gave up ( which is not great at all) when i received my pre-final exam score. i know i don't have a valid reason for flunking it, but even if i do, it's a really lame one.. i admit it. God, i just pray that our petition would be approved for math 36 to be available this summer.. oh btw, i didn't take the final exam yesterday.. hahaha! this is sooo not great... why? nag-aral ako sa eco101... lame reason.. tsk tsk...
i took the final exam in eco101. man! and to think i even taught borg when he was about to have an exam... he got exempted... iyam, nakakahiya ka... but i know God wanted to teach me something. He taught me how to study. funny as it may seem, but honestly, God showed me that i can study. the moment i found out that my pre-fi standing was 53 (passing was 60), i immediately went home, and hit the books. i failed both my midterm and pre-fi, what do you expect? it was only for the past few days that i finally understood macroeconomics. i guess self-study is a much more effective method for me to learn... anyway, i need to get at least a grade of 70 to pass but i'm aiming for an 80. thank God, the questions came from our midterm and pre-fi exams so ayos lang. i know i won't fail it :)
we finally have a house! it's in f.o. and it's a really cute, two-storey house. guys visit it next sem! para sure na malinis na siya haha!:)
auditioned (finally) for the music team... results will be announced tonight after the youthjam... waaahhh... paranoia visiting again...
hooked up no more... i just have to sit back and relax. IT will come.
..... i end it here for the meantime.

i came up across this chapter last night when i was doing my quiet time (pasensiya na kung mahaba, but i really encourage you to read this)
Ezekiel 2 Ezekiel's Call 1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you." 2 As he spoke, the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet, and I heard him speaking to me. 3 He said: "Son of man, I am sending you to the Israelites, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against me; they and their fathers have been in revolt against me to this very day. 4 The people to whom I am sending you are obstinate and stubborn. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.' 5 And whether they listen or fail to listen—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them. 6 And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them or their words. Do not be afraid, though briers and thorns are all around you and you live among scorpions. Do not be afraid of what they say or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house. 7 You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or fail to listen, for they are rebellious. 8 But you, son of man, listen to what I say to you. Do not rebel like that rebellious house; open your mouth and eat what I give you." 9 Then I looked, and I saw a hand stretched out to me. In it was a scroll, 10 which he unrolled before me. On both sides of it were written words of lament and mourning and woe.
3 1 And he said to me, "Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel." 2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. 3 Then he said to me, "Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it." So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. 4 He then said to me: "Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak my words to them. 5 You are not being sent to a people of obscure speech and difficult language, but to the house of Israel- 6 not to many peoples of obscure speech and difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I had sent you to them, they would have listened to you. 7 But the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you because they are not willing to listen to me, for the whole house of Israel is hardened and obstinate. 8 But I will make you as unyielding and hardened as they are. 9 I will make your forehead like the hardest stone, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them or terrified by them, though they are a rebellious house." 10 And he said to me, "Son of man, listen carefully and take to heart all the words I speak to you. 11 Go now to your countrymen in exile and speak to them. Say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says,' whether they listen or fail to listen." 12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a loud rumbling sound—May the glory of the LORD be praised in his dwelling place!- 13 the sound of the wings of the living creatures brushing against each other and the sound of the wheels beside them, a loud rumbling sound. 14 The Spirit then lifted me up and took me away, and I went in bitterness and in the anger of my spirit, with the strong hand of the LORD upon me. 15 I came to the exiles who lived at Tel Abib near the Kebar River. And there, where they were living, I sat among them for seven days-overwhelmed. Warning to Israel 16 At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me: 17 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 18 When I say to a wicked man, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to dissuade him from his evil ways in order to save his life, that wicked man will die for [a] his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 19 But if you do warn the wicked man and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his evil ways, he will die for his sin; but you will have saved yourself. 20 "Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and does evil, and I put a stumbling block before him, he will die. Since you did not warn him, he will die for his sin. The righteous things he did will not be remembered, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 21 But if you do warn the righteous man not to sin and he does not sin, he will surely live because he took warning, and you will have saved yourself." 22 The hand of the LORD was upon me there, and he said to me, "Get up and go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you." 23 So I got up and went out to the plain. And the glory of the LORD was standing there, like the glory I had seen by the Kebar River, and I fell facedown. 24 Then the Spirit came into me and raised me to my feet. He spoke to me and said: "Go, shut yourself inside your house. 25 And you, son of man, they will tie with ropes; you will be bound so that you cannot go out among the people. 26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be silent and unable to rebuke them, though they are a rebellious house. 27 But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you shall say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign LORD says.' Whoever will listen let him listen, and whoever will refuse let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
these 2 chapters talks about spreading the word of God to a rebellious nation. and God gave this job to ezekiel. beiorehand, God already gave a warning to ezekiel that since he will be sent to a rebellious nation, people there are going to be obstinate and stubborn, likewise rebellious. but He gave an assurance not to fear this kind of people since He is with him. and since we are all destined to bring people to the light, we must speak His words to them whether they listen or not (2:7). and God says not to be like them who are rebellious, but open your mouth and eat what He gives you which are His words.
God has also assigned us as watchman over such a nation and it is our duty to warn and dissuade him from his evil ways (3:18). in other words, we are responsible for them; in leting them turn away from evil doing and bring them closer to God by speaking His words to them, whether they listen or not. if he does listen, he will be saved from eternal damnation. if not, he will die for his sin. we are all accountabel for one another. like when you see your friend sinning but you do not make the effort to correct him and help him turn from his ways, God will hold you accountable for his blood (3:18).
we shouldn't worry if we get rejected. that's the challenge of reaching out! you will always come across with it so there's no point of turning back! why do you fear men when God is with you in the same way that He was with Ezekiel when He gave him this task?
when the time comes wherein you face this kind of task, God is with you. He said, " Get up and go to the plain, and there I will speak to you" (3:22) God will guide our tongues when we share His word (3:27).
so guys please don't be disheartened when people won't listen to you. that will come. but it takes perseverance and devotion to reach out. it is not a burden to do God's command but an act of love, sincerity, and devotion. God has shown us His love so we can show it to others. we allow ourselves to give them a preview of the gloriousness and greatness of God. isn't it great? God is using us first-hand! this just shows how much He believes in us, how much faith He has in us! who are we to let Him down, when He never let us down when He died for us. this task is incomparable to what He did on that cross. No worries! God is bigger than fear! He is with us at all times: in our quiet times, in our cell meetings, in our LG meetings, in our One-2-one.
KAMOWN GREAT FISHERS OF MEN!! :)

i'm back in zamboanga for the christmas break. my sister just arrived this morning so right now i'm abusing the unlimited internet connection she has haha!
i met up with ate celat yesterday sa greenwich. gave her the gifts you guys sent through me (thanks a lot, sabi ni ate). she's having driving lessons right now: 1 hour for 10 days. swerte nga eh... dapat maglelessons din ako kaya lang wala si papa ngayon. it should've been this coming summer, but i'll be staying in elbi for summer classes. eh, di next sem break.. hahay.
i really hate guys who don't respect girls!the other day when we were shopping sa greenhills, we saw this couple. eh pababa kami ng escalator when suddenly this rude guy bumped us out of the way, with a girl following right behind him. akala namin may hinahabol sila kasi mukhang haggard ung guy eh. nung pababa na ung guy, the girl sort of grabbed his shirt, maybe to stop him, but the guy made a sudden turn which caused the girl to drop her grip. then, nung pababa na rin kami ng escalator, with the couple in front of us, the guy mouthed at the girl "ano ba?! pu***g i**!" well actually he screamed at her but it was kinda loud so di ko narinig. the poor girl started to cry. grabe! tama ba naman un?? bastusin mo ung babae sa isang public place?? she was really crying hard, and i felt sorry for her. then i said to my self.. that guy doesn't deserve her... (shoot teka lang, nadistract ako... ***oh man... sino to??? sino to?? ANO to??? shoot man... shoot tlaga...Wadda??***)
catch right back with u.. important business to attend to.
